Vexxens (ヴェクセン族 Vekusen-zoku) are a race of warrior-like extraterrestrials from Universe 8 in the Dragon Ball: Mythos series. Known for their deep connection to lions, the Vexxen possess remarkable strength, agility, and heightened senses, making them one of the most formidable warrior races in their universe. Their culture revolves around discipline, honor, and spiritual connection to their ancestral lion spirits, with their homeland, Aslandra, serving as a perfect reflection of their primal and noble heritage.
The Vexxen play a significant role in the series when characters like Leona, a skilled and rebellious warrior, defy her clan’s rigid traditions and rise to prominence under the guidance of Liquiir, the God of Destruction of Universe 8.
Overview[]
The Vexxens are a warrior race from Universe 8, known for their close connection to lions and their fierce combat abilities. Native to the planet Aslandra (アスランドラ), they embody strength, honor, and loyalty. Vexxen society revolves around their connection to their ancestors and the natural world, and they possess unique physical and spiritual abilities derived from their lion heritage. Guided by a strict code of honor, the Vexxen have a highly organized clan-based society that emphasizes combat prowess and spiritual discipline.
Naming[]
Homeworld[]
Aslandra is a vibrant planet characterized by vast savannas, ancient jungles, and rugged mountain ranges. Its environment is harsh yet beautiful, providing the perfect setting for a warrior race that values strength and resilience. The planet has two suns, providing intense daylight, and a large sacred moon that plays a central role in Vexxen spirituality. Rituals and celebrations often take place under the moonlight, believed to be when the Vexxen are closest to their ancestors.
Culture[]
Vexxen culture revolves around honor, strength, and loyalty to the clan. They have a strict hierarchy led by powerful elders who have proven their worth in battle. Rituals are central to Vexxen life, with the moon serving as a symbol of their spiritual connection to their lion ancestors. The Vexxen value physical prowess, mental discipline, and deep respect for nature. They often gather for communal hunts and feasts, which reinforce their sense of community and unity. The clan’s honor and legacy are held in high regard, and each Vexxen is expected to contribute to its preservation and glory.
Technological Prowess[]
While the Vexxen are more spiritually and physically focused, they possess a basic level of technology that suits their needs on Aslandra. Their technology is primarily oriented toward survival and warfare, including advanced weapons and armor crafted from Aslandra’s natural resources. Their craftspeople are skilled in creating lightweight, durable materials suited for battle, but their reliance on physical ability over machinery has limited the need for high-level technology.
History[]
Universe 8[]
The Vexxen were said to have descended from a mythical lion deity who bestowed upon them their fierce physical abilities and deep spiritual connection to nature. Over generations, they developed a warrior society that valued loyalty, honor, and combat prowess. Clans grew around legendary warriors, forming tight-knit communities bound by shared values and ancestry. Conflicts with rival clans were common in the past, but unification under a council of elders brought peace and stability. The arrival of Tohfa, who later trained under Liquiir, marked a new chapter for the Vexxen, showcasing their potential as warriors beyond their homeworld.
Physiology[]
Physical Appearance[]
The Vexxen are tall and muscular, with feline-like features such as sharp eyes, pointed ears, and, in some cases, faint tiger-like stripes on their skin. Their eyes are typically golden or amber, with slit pupils that give them a fierce, predatory look. Vexxen hair resembles a lion’s mane—thick and wild, often red, brown, or golden in color. When in their transformed state, their features become more pronounced, with larger, sharper claws and a mane-like growth of hair around their neck and shoulders. Beads
Vexxen warriors wear beads made from a rare mineral found only on Aslandra, believed to connect them to their ancestors. These beads are often crafted into necklaces, bracelets, or amulets and are worn as symbols of status, protection, and family heritage. The color and arrangement of the beads signify achievements and roles within the clan, with high-ranking warriors having more elaborate designs.
Personality Traits[]
The Vexxen are proud, honorable, and fiercely loyal to their clans. They carry a warrior’s pride and a natural confidence in their abilities. While competitive, they hold deep respect for those who prove themselves in battle, even if they are rivals. Though outwardly stoic and sometimes intimidating, the Vexxen are deeply compassionate towards their own people and believe in supporting one another as a community. They tend to be wary of outsiders but will show respect to those who earn it.
Physical Abilities[]
The Vexxen possess extraordinary strength, agility, and resilience, all of which are further enhanced by their intense training. They are masters of close-combat techniques, focusing on powerful, precise strikes and rapid movement. Their natural agility allows them to outmaneuver opponents easily, and their resilience makes them difficult to wear down in prolonged battles. The Vexxen are also adept at ki manipulation, which they use to amplify their physical attacks.
As descendants of a lion-like ancestry, the Vexxen have heightened senses of sight, smell, and hearing, giving them an advantage in tracking, sensing ki, and detecting subtle movements. Their keen eyesight, especially at night, allows them to fight effectively in low-light conditions. These enhanced senses also make them highly perceptive of their surroundings, which they use to assess and adapt to different combat scenarios.
Aging, Lifespan, and Growth[]
Vexxen age slower than humans, with an average lifespan of around 200 years. They mature physically by their late teens, though they continue to grow in strength and skill for decades. Elder warriors are highly respected, and the oldest Vexxen often hold positions of leadership due to their wisdom and experience. Physical aging slows dramatically after reaching maturity, with elder warriors maintaining peak physical condition well into their later years.
Transformations[]
The Vexxen have a powerful transformation known as the Vexxen King Form (獅子王フォーム, Shishiō Fōmu, or "Lion’s Awakening"), which allows them to tap into their ancestral lion spirit. In this form, their hair becomes even wilder, with a mane-like growth around their neck and shoulders, and their eyes glow fiercely. Their physical strength, speed, and ki are amplified significantly, and they gain heightened senses and instincts. The Vexxen King Form is activated through intense focus and connection to their inner spirit, often under the moonlight, which acts as a catalyst for their transformation.
Trivia[]
- The Vexxen consider the full moon sacred, often performing rituals under its light to connect with their ancestors.
- The Vexxen are very similiar to the Saiyan race of Universe 6 and 7 but instead of being based off of monkey's, they are based off of Lions.
